Power restored to all homes after Storm Otto hits the North and North East
The storm left more than 60,000 homes across the UK without power
Power has been restored to every home which was disconnected from the grid during Storm Otto.
The Met Office said on Saturday that the storm had "well and truly cleared" but 2,000 homes in Aberdeenshire still had no power that morning.
Around 700 more homes had power restored during the day, and by yesterday evening Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said they had all been reconnected.
The storm left more than 60,000 homes across the UK without power earlier this week.
Gusts of around 85mph were felt for most areas, after the storm hit the North and North East of Scotland on Friday.
SSEN sent food vans to the main areas that were still without power.
SSEN Distribution Operations Director Mark Rough expressed his thanks to customers and staff.
He said: "I’d like to thank all our customers for their continued patience and understanding as our teams worked tirelessly to restore power to all homes impacted by Storm Otto.
"Whilst the impact of Storm Otto was not as prolonged as that of other storms experienced last winter, with sustained wind speeds in excess of 70mph and storm-force gusts of 85mph across the north east, in some areas higher than Storm Arwen, impacts were unavoidable, and we were fully prepared for damage to our overhead line infrastructure.
"I would like to recognise and publicly thank our field and support staff alongside the line crews from other network operators and contractors who worked to restore over 200 faults and reconnect supplies as quickly as possible, often delivering ahead of targets.
"I would also like to extend our thanks to our local and national resilience partners for all their efforts in supporting customers and communities.
"With all customers now reconnected, our focus turns to repairing remedial damage and our teams will continue working on the network in the coming days to restore it to full operation.
"In doing this, we will try to minimise the need for any planned interruptions, but if we do need to turn off your power for a short period, we’ll let you know in advance.
"If you remain off supply at this point, we would encourage you to report it by calling 105 as it may be a very localised fault or an issue with your internal electrical supply."
